Chapter 100

The two thugs snapped out of their stupor upon being interrupted, their faces instantly turning ugly.

“Get lost! Mind your own business!” One of them strode over, cursing as he reached out to throw a punch at Ye Baixiao.

Ye Baixiao remained calm and collected, not moving an inch. He effortlessly caught the fist coming towards him and then kicked the man far away with a single blow.

The excruciating pain made the man cry out, curling up on the ground in spasms.

The other man who had been restraining Xie Fuyi’s face changed instantly, unable to catch the movements of his opponent just now.

He was about to shout, but Ye Baixiao, who had stepped two steps forward, grabbed his wrist and easily twisted it. Then he delivered a heavy punch to the man’s face, the impact causing him to fall to the ground, half of his face instantly swollen and numb, throbbing painfully.

The silent alley was filled only with the groans of the two men.

Ye Baixiao looked down at them with an indifferent and cold gaze, his tone light as he spoke, “Still not leaving?”

The two thugs had already been frightened out of their wits, hastily helping each other as they scrambled away from the scene.

“Thank you, you…” Xie Fuyi’s voice, filled with gratitude, sounded soft, then he noticed the wound on Ye Baixiao’s abdomen, his expression instantly becoming tense, “You’re injured? I’ll take you to the hospital…”

The action Ye Baixiao just took tore open the wound he had just stopped bleeding, but he seemed not to feel any pain. He grabbed Xie Fuyi’s hand intending to dial 120, then paused and said, “I can’t go to the hospital. Do you have somewhere I can stay for the night?”

Xie Fuyi was waiting to bring someone back home, so naturally, he didn’t ask much and prepared to take him home.

On the way, Ye Baixiao surprisingly didn’t hide anything, admitting that he was caught up in a family dispute, and it would be dangerous for him to show up at the hospital for the time being.

The room Xie Fuyi rented was only a single room, so he brought Ye Baixiao home and sat him down on a chair. While fetching the first aid kit, he said, “Ye ge, if it’s inconvenient for you to go back, you can stay here for the night. It’s just that the room is small, and there’s only one bed. I might have to trouble you to squeeze with me…”

“It’s alright.” Ye Baixiao could see all the items in the room at a glance. Apart from a 1.5-meter bed, there weren’t any other furnishings.

It wasn’t strange for him to sleep on the same bed with his little brother, but as Ye Baixiao watched Xie Fuyi’s slender and long figure searching for the first aid kit, he inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

Xie Fuyi brought over the medicine and gauze, then brought a basin of hot water, sitting beside him. “Ye ge, let me treat your wound.”

Ye Baixiao nodded, unbuttoned his shirt, and took it off, revealing his perfectly sculpted body with clearly defined muscles rising and falling with each breath. However, there was a terrifying gash on his abdomen, fortunately, the bleeding seemed to have stopped.

Xie Fuyi’s hand trembled. It was evident that he hadn’t experienced such a bloody scene before. “Ye ge, I’ll start now. If it hurts, just let me know, and I’ll be gentle…”

His delicate fingers gently wiped away the blood stains around the wound with a towel, then he applied an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving cream with his fingertips.

Despite his own nervous trembling, he continued to comfort the other person in a gentle voice, his eyes inadvertently revealing concern.

Ye Baixiao lowered his gaze slightly, watching the person who was currently earnestly applying medicine to him. From his angle, he could only see the other’s fair chin and beautifully shaped lips.

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he watched the cold ointment being applied to his abdomen by the slightly warm fingers of the other person, as if it was also being spread into his heart… Not only did the muscles touched by the other’s fingers tingle with warmth, even his heart was throbbing and burning.

“Be careful not to let water touch the wound when you shower tonight. Do you want me to help you?”

Xie Fuyi’s gentle and caring words broke the silence in the room and instantly brought Ye Baixiao back to his senses.

His brows furrowed, muscles tense, he suddenly reached out and took the ointment from Xie Fuyi’s hand, saying stiffly, “Too slow, I’ll do it myself.”

Xie Fuyi was taken aback. Too slow? Did he think I was slow? Did he think I was applying some other kind of ointment for him? Applying medicine was just a straightforward means for the two of them to have intimate contact, filled with ambiguity, nurturing feelings!

But Ye Baixiao seemed unaffected. Xie Fuyi watched as he quickly applied the ointment and wrapped it with new gauze.

Xie Fuyi blinked: Did his charm diminish?

Later that night, Xie Fuyi simply wiped himself and then changed into one of his loose T-shirts before getting into bed to rest.

Xie Fuyi pursed his lips, not taking anything, and went into the bathroom. When he came out after his shower, he was only wrapped in a towel, then he bent down to rummage through the box on the side to find his pajamas.

Ye Baixiao was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, browsing through his phone messages. At that moment, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the fair figure.

A towel couldn’t hide much, and the long and straight legs, along with the delicate butterfly bones on the shoulders, were both exquisite and beautiful…

Ye Baixiao instantly turned his head away, clenched his fists to steady his breath. He felt odd, why was he finding a man attractive?

Yet, when the other person couldn’t find his clothes, he still couldn’t resist getting off the bed to help him search. Quickly finding a set of clothes, he tossed them over, expressionless, and said, “Put these on and rest early.”

Xie Fuyi took the clothes and raised an eyebrow, “Thank you, Ye-ge.”

After changing into the clothes, he also got into bed. Even though he smelled the same shower gel scent from both of them, it seemed more enticing on him.

He pulled the blanket over himself and turned to look at the person beside him, his beautiful black eyes carrying a faint smile, “Ye-ge, you should rest early too.”

With long, damp eyelashes still glistening and cheeks flushed from the steam in the bathroom, he lay there in the soft blanket, looking at him obediently, incredibly tempting.

Ye Baixiao nodded without changing his expression, also putting down his phone, turning off the bedside lamp, and laying flat on his back with his hands neatly placed on his abdomen.

Sensing that the breathing next to him soon became long and steady, Xie Fuyi, who had just been pretending to be cute with a rabbit-like expression, widened his eyes slightly in the darkness.

What’s going on? Shouldn’t the CEO’s eyes darken at this point? Shouldn’t his breathing become heavier? Shouldn’t he be uncontrollable?

Why is this person so serious?

A sudden realization struck Xie Fuyi’s mind, disbelief crossing his thoughts: …Could he be incapable?

Well, it’s just the beginning, it’s okay to take it slow… Xie Fuyi prayed silently as he gradually fell asleep.

…

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Baixiao, who was secretly suspected by Xie Fuyi, was not as calm as he appeared. His forehead was covered in fine sweat in the dark of night, making it especially difficult for him to endure. The internal struggle was even more severe than the physical discomfort.

He could suppress and conceal the anomalies in his body with his cultivation techniques, but what about his heart?

He had never encountered such a situation before, and it felt too strange.

In the post-apocalyptic world, resources were scarce, and it was common for him to bathe and sleep with his little brothers. But now, with the person beside him, he couldn’t fall asleep no matter what, and there was even a restlessness in his heart… His mind was filled with thoughts of the person beside him—

Longer legs, slimmer waist, fairer skin, more fragrant body…

Sensing the person beside him gradually falling asleep, his mind became more alert.

Ye Baixiao couldn’t help but despise himself. The other person allowed him to stay overnight, and yet he was having such dirty thoughts!

He fiercely pinched his own arm, but after a while, the blanket in front of him was still bulging up.

Ye Baixiao’s face is gone, expression: …… Worst.
